Box office.. Kollywood invasion has started !!
In contrast, tollywood found its biggest successes with "Hanuman," "DJ Tillu," and "Kalki 2898 AD." These films stood out in an otherwise lackluster first half for the industry.
In tamil cinema, Vijay Sethupathi's "Maharaja" became a blockbuster, and "Aranmanai 4" also enjoyed good success. The hindi film industry saw moderate success with movies like "Fighter," "Saitan," and "Crew."
As we move into the second half of 2024, the stage is set for an exciting lineup of big releases in both tollywood and Kollywood. In telugu cinema, more than half a dozen Pan-India films are poised for release over the next six months. The buzz kicks off on august 15 with the releases of "Smart Shankar" and "Mr. Bachchan." Following these, a slew of major movies is set to hit the screens through December.
Kollywood is also gearing up for a robust second half with several high-profile releases under the Pan-India banner. The much-anticipated "Indian 2" releases on July 12, marking the beginning of a series of star-studded box office battles. Rajinikanth's "Vettayan" and Ilayathalapathy Vijay's "GOAT" are expected to release on a grand scale, followed by ajith Kumar's "Vidamayarchi" and Vikram's "Tangalan," both of which come with huge expectations.
Overall, the second half of 2024 promises a cinematic feast for moviegoers, with a lineup of films that are likely to create significant buzz and excitement across various regional industries.
